The Lifetyle CEO Blog is sponsored by Yours Truly, Donna Maria Coles Johnson -- the Original Lifestyle CEO. It complements my book, online newsletter, conferences and other products designed to inspire and encourage moms to successfully integrate life and business, without compromising either.

The Lifetyle CEO Blog shares my views on lifestyle, and home and business management from the distinct perspective of a wife, mother and businesswoman. It provides a fun and entertaining way for people to check the daily pulse of the growing group of women who are managing home and business on their own terms. Women are starting businesses today at more than twice the rate of the national average, and a significant number of them are simultaneously mothering young children. Tired of struggling, juggling and working for companies that don't provide the flexibility needed to be good workers and good mothers, these women are finding ways to combine business vision with personal values to build their own corporate ladders. They are using technology, their natural networking and social skills, their desire to create a legacy for their children and build familial wealth as springboards to a better lifestyle. They are making the Lifestyle CEO Choice, and loving every minute of it. If you want to know what they are thinking and doing, you'll find it here.

This Blog is a fantastic complement to other Lifestyle CEO related activities, including the Handmade Beauty Network, the leading trade organization representing manufacturers of candles, soaps, cosmetics, fragrances and aromatherapy products.

We currently allow for the posting of comments on the Lifestyle CEO Blog. Under each item, you'll see the word "Comments." To post a public comment about that news item, ask a question, or just see what other people have said, click on "Comments."

In the future I'll introduce guest bloggers including the Lifestyle CEO "Brain Trust," a group of successful mom business owners who share their expertise and tips for success.
